Ball joint broke
Well my drivers side ball joint JUST BROKE. I just put these on a few weeks ago very few miles. Not looking very good for Z1's upper control arms.
Thinking I should have spent the money on SPL's. |

looks like ball joint bolt backed out. seems like a pattern with them. They have revised them and if you check the install instructions on their web site the revision date was this month!

Some kid there today told me the email from Spencer was mistakenly sent out and there's no problem with their FUCA that were purchased recently. Well, I just heard from a member who got theirs on 4/8 and Joel told him the factory used the wrong loctite on the ball joints My driver side fuca is making some serious clunking noises. I'm afraid to drive the car after reading some of the posts in the other thread about these arms. Something fishy going on here.

Just talked to my shop nothing broke the bolt that holds the heim joint together came undone. They have i back to gether and I am waiting for a call from Z1 about what locktight to use on BOTH sides so this hopefully doesn't happen again.

here is a video from a member of the G37 forum he did a video of these issues so people can see what the problem is.
